SPEAKER: Hey, everyone, and welcome back
to another and Unreal Tips and Tricks series.
Today, we will be talking about how to set up the Archviz
character into your scene.
The Archviz Character is based off the first person character
template but with slightly modified values, such as warp
speed, turn speed, to make the experience smoother
for showcasing purpose.
So here we are in our project.
And for showcasing this suite, we'll
be using the Archviz Character Pawn.
So let's right click in our content browser.
And let's create a Blueprint class.
What you want to do here is go into the drop down
menu All Classes and search for Archviz.
And this will bring up the Archviz Character Pawn.
So once that's selected, press Select,
and name this BP_ArchvizPawn.
Now, I recommend creating a Blueprint,
as we can drag and drop it across different projects,
further customize the settings if we need to,
and most importantly, keep the values
consistent between levels.
Now with that done, let's drag our Blueprint into the scene.
And I'm going to be enabling my show actors
by pressing G on my keyboard.
And we can see this capsule component that
is representing our player.
So what I'm going to do right now is press Play.
And it looks like I'm still using the free roaming camera.
So that's very easy to fix.
Simply select your character pawn,
and let's go into the Details tab
on the rights and type in Possess Player.
And we're going to make the auto possess player Player Zero.
So let's try this again.
And now I am correctly using the character pawn,
except we cannot move or we cannot turn yet.
So we're going to fix that right now.
So let's stop our simulation.
I'm going to be pressing Escape on my keyboard
and come back to the viewport.
Now, what we're going to do is double click on our Blueprint
we just created and see if we have some valuable information
that we can see in here.
So if we go into the Viewport tab,
we can see that we have our capsule player here.
Now, I want you to pay attention on the right side
in the Details panel.
We have some values, such as the turn axis and the move
forward, which we are going to be inputting in the project
settings.
So those are the values that it's looking for.
And we haven't set those yet.
So what we can do here is actually reduce
the size of this window.
And we're going to go in our Settings, Project Settings,
and we're going to be looking at the Input tab.
Now these are the axis mappings that we're
going to be entering.
And we kept this window just so we can enter those exact value
names in our axis mapping.
So let's start by the most basic one and do the move forward.
So I'm going to be clicking on the plus (+) sign.
And I'm going to name this Move Forward.
And I'm going to be using WASD.
So W key is going to be my forward access.
So if I press W, and we have this scale 1, so forward.
Now I'm going to be pressing.
And I'm going to enter my backwards key, which is S.
Now, with that one, I want to be putting a value of minus 1.
So we have Move Forward.
Now we're going to be doing the Movie Right.
So simply press the plus (+) sign again.
And make sure to spell that correctly.
So Move Right, I'm going to be pressing on my D key.
So again, press D, scale one, and same as above,
I'm going to be pressing my A key with a value of negative 1.
Now, let's map our look and turn inputs using our mouse.
So again, let's hit the plus (+) sign.
And let's enter look up for our up and down orientation.
And we will be using our y-axis on our mouse.
So here, I'm going to be entering a value of minus 1,
because I'm using a non-inverted look.
For those of you who prefer the inverted look,
enter a value of 1.
And last but not least, our turn movements, so type in Turn,
and this will be using the x-axis
on the mouse with a value of 1.
Those are in.
Let's close this window.
And let's close this one too.
So let's hit Play and test the controls out.
So I can move now with my mouse rotation.
But I can also move forward, backwards, and doing the side
movements here.
And this is a really convenient way
of navigating through your scene and showcasing your new space.
I hope you enjoyed this video and see you
very soon for a new Tips and Tricks video.
